This is just a RFC about the future of the module.
The approach by dboulet is a nice elegant CCK based solution, http://drupal.org/node/413826. Or will you continue with the existing approach?
I used the module for the first time for a project that we are doing, and refactored it a lot. See the attached zip.
It has had a lot of new features, and it's only dependency is ImageField 6.3+.
- Can target any textarea field (with or without format options) or any CCK textfield that has format options. This is configurable and only targets formated "WYSIWYG" fields by default.
- Elemental configuration of the base path to use. Relative / Absolute / Internal path filter
- Simple size determination for both the main image and imagecache presets.
- Configurable options for adding a wrapping div with class selection
- Configurable options for img/anchor class
- Configurable options for adding rel attribute to the anchor
- Options to clean up the ImageCache preset names
- Degrades gracefully when there is no JScript
Still has some integration issues with the ImageField, namely when removing existing elements, but is fairly stable and is in use in a site that is nearing production, albeit that the development was tailored to this site and not a generic Drupal install. It ticks off most of the issues in the queue. Please feel free to rip out any features to integrate into the new branch.
Hoping both this and dboulet methods give you some food for thought.

Thanks for sharing Alan. I think that with all the work we've been doing on this project, we have the potential for a really kick arse module. It would be nice to at least have a stable 6.x release. I'd really like to hear from the project maintainers on this...

I've just been working on a wysiwyg plugin for the Geshi Filter, and it may not be to hard to actually move this functionality (a popup image selector) into the wysiwyg editor itself, ... but I do like the insert image button by the CCK imagefield too. Sitting both sides of the fence on this one.

It looks like development has stopped.
#4
Yep, do not want to create a bridge unless we hear back from the maintainer...
#5
Maybe you can take over the project according to guidelines at http://drupal.org/node/251466
#6
Mmm.. I've got a lot on my cards at the moment, I wouldn't be able to give it the TLC that it deserves.
I think that I started, I would be going down the wysiwyg path, so maybe a ImageField WYSIWYG bridge module similar to the IMCE bridge is a better approach, this would leave this module open to provide the same functionality as it does now
#7
Yes, it may be better. Looking forward to use your bridge module.
#8
There is a new module with almost the same features than Easy image insert: Filefield insert.
#9
Module has been discontinued.
